The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced a NEET PG 2026 re-examination for 2,445 candidates in Jaipur who could not complete their test on August 30 because of an internal power supply disruption.
The re-examination will be conducted in Jaipur on September 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM. It applies only to candidates affected at two iON Digital Zone centres in Sitapura and is not a nationwide NEET PG re-examination.
Important Update: The September 5 re-examination is strictly restricted to affected candidates from Test Centre Nos. 41682 & 41683 in Sitapura, Jaipur. Candidates who successfully completed their test on August 30 across India do not need to re-appear.

What Happened at the Jaipur NEET PG 2026 Centres?
The disruption occurred at two iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura examination centres in Jaipur.
The affected centres were:
- Test Centre No. 41682
- Test Centre No. 41683
According to the official information supplied for the examination, internal power supply issues at these centres resulted in a technical disruption that prevented 2,445 candidates from completing their NEET PG 2026 examination. Responsibility for the examination arrangements was attributed in the official release to examination conducting agency M/s TCS Ltd.
NBEMS subsequently announced a separate examination opportunity for these affected candidates.
NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam Date and Time
The affected candidates will appear for the NEET PG 2026 re-examination on:
- Date: September 5, 2026
- Day: Saturday
- Time: 3:00 PM
- City: Jaipur, Rajasthan
The exact examination venue has not yet been specified in the supplied official information. NBEMS is expected to communicate the venue, admit-card-related information and examination instructions separately to eligible candidates.
Candidates should therefore rely on further NBEMS communication before travelling to the examination centre.
Is NEET PG 2026 Being Conducted Again Across India?
No.
The September 5 examination applies only to the 2,445 candidates affected at the two Sitapura centres in Jaipur.
Candidates who successfully completed NEET PG 2026 on August 30 are not covered by this re-examination announcement.
This distinction is important because reports referring simply to a “NEET PG re-exam” may give the impression that the examination is being held again nationally.
How Many Candidates Appeared for NEET PG 2026?
According to the supplied official national examination statistics:
- 2,73,096 candidates were registered or scheduled for the examination.
- 2,65,980 candidates appeared.
- Approximately 2,63,535 candidates successfully completed the examination.
- NEET PG 2026 was conducted at 1,111 examination centres.
- The examination covered 339 cities across all 36 states and Union Territories.
The Jaipur incident therefore affected a specific group of candidates rather than the nationwide examination process as a whole.
Investigation Into the Jaipur Disruption
A three-member committee has reportedly been constituted to examine the circumstances surrounding the internal power supply failure at the Jaipur examination centres.
The reported committee includes representatives or senior officials associated with:
- The Rajasthan Government health administration
- The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
- The Central Electricity Authority
The committee information has been reported by multiple news organisations citing NBEMS or official sources. The primary PIB release supplied with the source material focuses mainly on the disruption and re-examination arrangements.
Until further findings are officially released, candidates should avoid relying on speculation regarding the cause of the disruption.
What Should Affected Candidates Do Now?
Candidates covered by the Jaipur re-examination should:
- Check Official Communications: Regularly check communication issued by NBEMS.
- Download Revised Admit Card: Check for revised admit-card or examination-centre information.
- Verify Venue: Confirm the new venue before travelling.
- Read Guidelines: Carefully read any revised examination-day instructions.
- Keep Documents Ready: Keep their existing application and examination documents accessible.
- Avoid Rumours: Rely on official NBEMS communication rather than social-media claims.
The re-examination announcement confirms the date, time and city, while detailed venue information is to be communicated separately.
NEET PG 2026 Difficulty Level
NBEMS has not issued an official difficulty rating for NEET PG 2026.
Descriptions such as easy, moderate or difficult that appear in exam reviews are based on candidate reactions or expert analysis. They should not be treated as an official assessment from NBEMS.
